Hi Rita, It doesn’t break down into good avenue or not. There are many high personal and individual factors to consider. No one should make a recommendation about this without understanding your family and the situation fully. -Barbara
ReplyI’m so overwhelmed. Both my son’s are addicted to drugs. Youngest was clean for almost 2years after prison. He’s relapsed now. My oldest literally forces me to deal with him. He’ has no where to live insists on coming here. I’m raising 2 of my grandsons 9&10. My son comes through windows if I leave and lock the door. Shows up at 2-3 am. I get up to drive a school bus at 4am. If I don’t answer the door he continues to bang saying I have no where else. The police and courts do nothing. The police act like I’m the one doing wrong calling them. Court when he does get arrested just let him right out. I’m single so no help there. This has become a living nightmare. I try not to let the kids see it but they know. I don’t want both my son’s here at the same time so the kids don’t understand why there dad can’t be here but their uncle is running in and out AND bringing his gf! I try to take control of my HOME but he just doesn’t let up. Sorry for the rant just overwhelmed today and no one understands.
ReplyRonda, I’m so sorry for what you are going through, and yes, we need to rant sometimes. We do have a group of moms who understand and, in my VIP program, I and others coach moms through these types of horrible situations. If this is of interest to you, watch the workshop (link at the top of my website). -Barbara
ReplyHi Barbara I listened a year or so back to one of your presentations. It was good. I would like to listen to this one. Is it free? Thank you
ReplyHI Cindy – I’m glad you enjoyed the prior presentation. Yes, this one is free. Barbara
ReplyI love my daughter but it’s time she gets her a t together. I’m raising her 8 yrs old son
He wants nothing to do with her she scares him.
This is exactly what I did with my son. Unfortunately he died of fentanol overdose last year. I also have a daughter who’s addicted to alcohol and am trying to love her as you suggest.
ReplyPeople are talking about a free session. How can i do this to try it?
ReplyBernice – I read lots of books and each one was interesting and none of them really helped me. That’s why I decided instead of traditional retirement that I would do this work. For me, this would have filled a gap and lots of other moms confirm it does for them also.
ReplyWhat if our child has abandoned us? He has chosen a girlfriend who supports his psychosis and all the lies that go with it.
ReplyI am sorry to have to say that this is part of the disease. It is not your true son that has made this decision. It is the disease. In these cases, I encourage my students to use my Love Another Way Framework to establish a different kind of connection with their “child” and often it is works out very well.
ReplyExcellent – email us afterward and let us know how it resonates with you, Lise.
ReplyHello Barbara….I really appreciate your blog….for those of us who have difficulty hearing the webcasts this is a life saver.
ReplyHi Teresa – Thanks for your note. On my membership platform, I now have all the core program videos with full transcripts and slides for hearing impaired and for those that do better by reading. I’m working on the same kind of functionality for the bonus content I provide to students. So this is good to know:)
ReplyThis wonderful! Thank you so much for your experience, work and education that you put into helping us to learn to Love Another Way.
